Dwane Casey says he plans to expand Blake Griffin's responsibilities
We're going to empower him to expand his gameCasey:
New Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said that one of the goals of the franchise will be to expand Blake Griffin’s game.
Per ESPN, Casey said on ESPN Radio's Stephen A. Smith Show that keeping Griffin healthy needs to be one of the Pistons' top priorities. He also said he plans to expand Griffin's responsibilities.
"We're going to empower him to expand his game, a lot like DeMar DeRozan in Toronto," he said. "Expand his game out to the 3-point line, have some point-forward responsibilities with the basketball out on the floor bringing it down. Because he's more than just a back-down, post-up player."
Casey said on ESPN Radio that he wasn't sure if he needed to sit out a year after being fired by Toronto, but Gores and Stefanski "made a really compelling case on how we could do it together and really convinced me that this was the right place to be."
